It was a new one, nnd he wns in a hurry to render it smooth and pliable, and have the job off his hands.

A THEATRICAL MANAGER, ', Heinrich Laubc, the director of tho Burg Theatre, Vienna, who died in the year 1884, was not tho man to smother a licce under its accessories, as is becoming ncreasingly tho fashion in tho London theatres. The Burg Theatre ranks as ngn among me Vienna tuoatrea as too Fraucais docs among the Parisian houses, and it was not economy but the severity of his taste which led him to prefer the simplest mites en sce'ne. ' I am not on upholstorer, but a theatrical manager,' ho used to say to thoso who taxed him with the poverty of the scenic decorations. H. Denis of tho Paris Enti-acte states that ho onco saw Lear performed at tho Burg Thoatre, and that, with the oxception of the throne in the first act, tho stage was perfectly bars of furniture or fixtures of any kind. A young actor who was en gaged to play Hanilot asked for a slight addition to the meagro invontory allowed for the tragedy. 'What!' said Laubo, horrifiod. ' I have already given you half a dozen chair...

It was then about tho inlddlo of March, and consequently later than is usual for moving troops, as tho clays bogln to got vory hot on tho plains in tho Oarnatio about that timo of the year. But ours was speoliil duty, and as wo should only maroh in tho vory oarly morning, wo did not foar tho inoonvo nioneo o£ tho midday heat, but lookod upon tho wholo thing as rathor a lark, and a wol ooiiio change from tho monotony of garrison duly. As to tho oholora, not ono of us gavo it a thought.

Wynyni'rt nrotent and Queries. (TO THE EDITOR.) Sin, — ' There is not room to swiug a cat in it,' 'Duck Pond,' 'The Hole in tho Rock,' ' The Baths.' Such are some of tho names by which tho new port at Wynyard is brandcd.and that such names aronniironrlato to this Ministerial picnic folly is apparent. The Government paid a Urst-class engineer for his opinion. Mr. Hell gave his advice, but the Government, in opposition to. the counsel of so high an authority, listened to the pondcrlngs of others. Nu doubt the farmers who supported this ?' port folly' theory wcro honest in their intentions, but though they meant well they dp not seem to have fully weighed the matter; Before this 'hole iu the rock' can bo anything of a port it will cost the country JUOU.OUO. Tluit non-cxpert's advice should bo listened to in stead of the opinion of a gentleman like Mr. Bell is marvellous. The advocates of tho present work aver that it Is only a rough outline, but lit is to be hoped tho Govern ment will ...
